A flower that thrives in the shaded areas of my garden is our featured flower of the month, the Begonia. Begonias, with their rich history and diverse species, are native to moist subtropical and tropical climates. Originating from regions like South America’s rainforests and the mountains of Africa and Asia, they have been cultivated since ancient times, valued for their ornamental beauty and symbolic meanings. Cultivation practices vary depending on the species, but generally, begonias thrive in well-drained soil, with consistent moisture and dappled sunlight, making them a popular choice for gardeners and plant enthusiasts worldwide.
